Abstract

We consider the Allen-Cahn equation where Ω = B1(0) is the unit ball in ℝn and ε > 0 is a small parameter. We prove the existence SN of a radial solution uε having N interfaces {uε(r)=0} = {n-ary union}Nj=1, where 1> rε1 > rε2 >...> rεN are such that 1-rε1 ~ε log(1/ε) and rεj-1 - rεj ~ ε log(1/ε) for j = 2,..., N. Moreover, the Morse index of uε in H1rε) is exactly N.
